Actually enjoyed that! Helped that I went out at a pace I was comfortable with, walked up the hills. Soaked up the atmosphere and mostly smiled around it thinking how amazing it was to run on a race circuit!
So pleased you enjoyed it and sounds like we got the strategy perfect. That’s how it should be really, if you pace it right and walk the hills (for now) you’ll find you can get a decent time without working extremely hard. That’s a good first marker to lay down for a 10k. Really well done Abbi.
